Back in 2017, while other consoles were busy being large, loud, and permanently glued to TVs, Nintendo dropped the Nintendo Switch—a magical tablet with detachable tiny controllers called Joy-Cons and a mission to let you game literally anywhere. Bathroom? Sure. Subway? Of course. Grandma’s house? Plug it into her ancient TV and boom, Smash Bros. with cookies. People didn’t know what to make of it at first. Was it a handheld? A console? A toaster with buttons? But with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launching beside it, the only question anyone really cared about was: “Can I ride a bear in this game?” (Yes, you can.)
The Switch quickly became a party animal and a solo retreat. With games like Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Tears of the Kingdom, it offered chaos, coziness, and adventure all in one carry-on-sized package. Sure, its online features were about as advanced as a flip phone, and Joy-Con drift made characters moonwalk when you didn’t ask them to—but people loved it anyway. Why? Because it made gaming fun again, wherever you were. The Switch didn’t just let us play games; it let us sneak them into every moment of life—with a satisfying click.
